From the other reviews, it seems as if everyone either loves this and considers this a masterpiece or hates it and considers a piece of trash. Therefore I'm gonna try judging this series as fair as I can.
Earthquakes are scary. The Japanese society, culture, and many other aspects of the nation has been affected by Japan throughout the history and creation of Japan. This anime is another disaster earthquake anime in which Japan gets hit by a giant earthquake and many, many people die. At least that's what it seems like it was like until it turned into some crackheads appearing every episode.
Story - 3/10
Nothing worse than a badly done, over the top unrealistic story which they tried making realistic. All of Japan sinking? At least try keeping it realistic to a certain point! On the other hand, this anime does a mediocre/good job of portraying survivor's guilt and other psychological problems. I am going to pretend I never saw it become a fiery bullsh** because it seems as if I can't put negatives down.
Art - 6/10
Drawing and animating is really hard work. The art in this anime would have been really good if done correctly. You could see parts from time to time in the art and animation that was off. Animating building collapsing and humans getting crushed and twisted realistically is also very hard, making the animation more clunky and off.
Sound - 5/10
I'm not an expert in this stuff but I'm gonna try. The intro was average... just average. The sound effects were good. Everything was fine except one thing. English. I don't know about you but personally I hate it when the English is pronounced really badly over and over and over.
Character - 4/10
They honestly did a pretty good job with the characters. Or maybe since everything else was so bad, it looked better. Either way, they did a great job portraying the psychological effects on the characters.
Enjoyment - 5/10
Did I enjoy it? The answer is Yesen't.
Overall - 4/10
Honestly, the story might have been good and they could have done better.
Do I recommend this anime? I honestly recommend the first 3 or 4 episodes. Then the series just burned, got mauled, feel off a cliff, hit a landmine, blown to shreds, and then yea you get the point.
